My computers do not recognize each other on the homenetwork. Message on the
XP is "The server (other computer name) could not be found on the network."
The notebook(Windows ME) does not even show any homenetwork. The XP was set
up first and then the notebook using a disckette created by XP. Internet
access ok on both.
The desktop is cabled to a wireless gateway and the notebook has a wireless
card. How do I make this network work?
 
A couple of things:
Logon using a username and password that exists on both
machines. Turn off any firewalls especially the one that
comes with XP. Turn on file and printer sharing. Create
a shared folder on both machines. Microsoft Knowledge
Base article 258717 might be of some help.
